Hiring shouldn’t be the hardest part of running a service business.
But for most owners, it is.
If you run a stone fabrication shop, restoration company, janitorial firm, or small construction business, you already know the drill.
No-shows.
Late arrivals.
Good workers who suddenly stop caring.
Bad hires that hang around way too long.
And somehow, you’re the one fixing everything.
This book isn’t about HR theory, personality tests, or building “culture” with posters on the wall.
It’s about what actually works in real service businesses with crews of 1 to 25 people.
Written by service business owner and consultant Cole Asher, What Better Hiring Really Looks Like is a straight-talking, experience-based guide to hiring, training, managing, and keeping employees without babysitting, burnout, or endless frustration.
Inside, you’ll learn:
• How to attract better applicants without spending more on ads
• How to interview quickly and spot red flags early
• Why most bad hires reveal themselves in the first two weeks
• How to train inexperienced workers without losing your patience
• How to set rules and expectations clearly without being a jerk
• What actually motivates people when it comes to pay and raises
• How to protect your business with simple documentation
• When it’s time to let someone go and how to do it cleanly
• How to stop your business from depending on one key employee
This book doesn’t promise perfect hires. That doesn’t exist.
What it gives you is something better:
clarity, consistency, and a system that keeps small problems from turning into constant fires.
Every chapter includes real scenarios, plain-language explanations, exact scripts for tough conversations, common mistakes to avoid, and practical tools you can use immediately.
No corporate jargon.
No legal fear tactics.
No fluff.
Just honest guidance from someone who’s been in the field, made the mistakes, and figured out what actually works when hiring stops feeling like chaos.
If you’re tired of guessing, hoping, and reacting, this book will show you what better hiring really looks like.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
